Description Jesse Pelton 2003-06-09 17:38:47 UTC
Line 586 adds two bytes to the length of each header string to allow for
characters that will be added when the string is formatted:

            len += strlen(elts[i].key) + strlen(elts[i].val) + 2;

This is consistent with the commentary that precedes it, however, line 598- 602
actually add three bytes to the header string:

            *(((char*)buf_data)++) = ':';
            *(((char*)buf_data)++) = ' ';
            strcpy(buf_data, elts[i].val);
            ((char*)buf_data) += strlen(elts[i].val);
            *(((char*)buf_data)++) = '\n';

Net result: buf_size is one byte per row too small.  GetServerVariable() is
typically called once with a NULL buffer to establish the required buffer size,
then called again with a newly allocated buffer of the appropriate size.  This
isn't possible if the first call returns too small a size.

The fix is simple: change '2' to '3' in line 586.

Forgot to mention the file: this is in mod_isapi.c.
